Approval preview not displaying approval details in 'Check Status'

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in the below scenario:-
First a requestor creates an Advice Special Request Form which goes to a purchaser for approval. The purchaser rejects this item and adds a new item by creating a special request form and fills in correct details. While he does this, the cost assignment for the items is different(multiple cost center assignment). Then he approves this Shopping cart. When the requestor Accepts the Changes, he is not able to view the approver details. But once he clicks on change option, then the approval details are shown in the approval preview.
Is there any way that the approval details are shown when the user clicks on the 'Approval preview' as the SC has already gone for approval to the manager? Is there any particular reason why only in change mode he can see the approval details?

Dear Poster,
As no response has been provided to the thread in some time I must assume the issue is resolved, if the question is still valid please create a new thread rephrasing the query and providing as much data as possible to promote response from the community.
Best Regards,

Approval Preview not displayed in Shopping cart

Hi,
On creating shopping carts through Plan Driven procurement, we are changing the cart status from the default "Ordered/Approved" to "Awaiting approval". The approvers are displayed in BBP_PD for this Shopping Cart, however the same is not visible in SRM portal.
We have also refreshed all the templates, but the Approval tab and Overview link, is not displayed in shopping cart.
We are on SRM 5.0, 5.5 server, Extended Classic scenario with SP 17 and have implemented N-step approval work flow BADI to determine approvers based on the cost center entered in shopping cart.
Kindly provide inputs to have approvers displayed in SRM portal.
Thanks,
KB

Hi,
SAP does not provide the standard solution for triggering the WF from external system ( ECC )... any document create outside the SRM, system will automatically put the status to approved... even 0-Level wont trigger... you can activate the nstep workflow by following step by step help...

Approval Preview (Only first approver is displayed after 1 approval step)

Hello Everyone!
We have a scenario in PROD wherein the approval preview doesn't show all approvers in the screen. At first, when the Contract document is prepared (not yet approved/created) and then the approval preview is displayed, the screen correctly shows the 3 approvers with status 'To be approved by'. However, when the document was created and that the first approver already approved the document, the approval preview only shows 1 approver line in the approval preview (table) with a status 'Approved by'. The next 2 approvers are not displayed in the screen.
When we checked the document in BBP_PD and in SWI1, the workflow correctly identified the next approvers and even sent some notifications for them to approve. This is more on the screen problem. The approval preview (table) only shows the 1st approver who approved the document. We want to see all the approvers (with different status) in the approval preview so that we may know who already approved the document and who are the ones to still approve the document.
We only experience this in PRD, and this scenario (document) works both in DEV and QAS. Please let us know the SAP Notes related to this. The affected documents are Contract and PO.
Thanks and regards,
Reymar

Hi Masa,
There were no applied notes related to approval preview (table) in DEV and QAS system.
We have SRM 5.0 component version; SRM Server 5.50 ; SP13.
Would you know any cause of this issue?
Thank you very much.

Wrong approval preview: One Sptep Approval WF in PO WS14000089

Hi Gurus!
We are using SRM 5.0 and we need to set up the WF WS14000089 for approving changes in POs. The problem is that, we will not have the responsible for the approval under the Purchasing Organization, as we will replicate the PPOMA from R3. So, the responsible for approving all the changes in the PO will be under one box (department in the PPOMA). There will only be one person with rights to approve changes in POs. As we cannot assign it indirectly to the Purchasing Organization, we need to assign the approver using WF.
We need that, every change in a PO needs to be approved by this single person.
We have tried to assign him as a responsible in WS14000089 for step 000023 "First Approval". We have defined in tab "Agents" the option "User" and the user that has to be the appover.
When we test the WF, no approver is determined in the approval preview for the PO. But if the PO is saved and you display it again, in the approval preview, the correct approver has been determined and the PO is sent to this approver in order to check the modified PO.
What are we missing in order to display the correct user in the approval preview tab in the PO?
Many thanks and regards!
PWBR!

Hi

Warranty Counters Not Displaying in Customer Warranty Check

Dear All
More then two Characterstics for service in warranty master are not displaying in my warranty check when i try to check the warranty for serial numbers.what i have done is
1.Create Characterstics as numeric value.
2.Define warranty counter in customizing.
3.Define new Customer Master warranty and assign these Charaterstics to service.
Only two line items are displayed in my warranty check
Please help
Thank you

Nomi

Dear All
My warranty counter is time dependent it means that i dont have to use measuring point and measuring document based on the following SAP help :
"There are time-dependent and performance-dependent warranty counters:
The indicator for time-dependence is set in Customizing, then the warranty counter is time-dependent. In this case, you must create a characteristic of the same name, which has a unit of the u201Ctimeu201D dimension, in the class system.
The system can use this to determine from the warranty start date and the value that was stored in the master warranty for this counter, whether the counter check is still valid for the key date."
Any other Clue ?
Thanks in Advance

SRM 5.0 - Approver Names Not Displaying in Approval Preview

Hi,
Has anyone experienced the following problem in the approval preview applet?
Were using the WS14000133 shopping cart approval workflow. The approval preview stopped working once we moved it to production January 1. The approval preview in production doesnt display the names besides the approval steps. It displays the correct number of nodes/steps but not the name beside each node/step.
If the cart is ordered, the approval requests are delivered to the correct approvers. The BADI is returns the required information for each step as well.
We did not experience this problem in our non production systems.
Thanks,
Jerry Martinek

Hello Jerry,
Can you please check whether they have maintained the fullname in the SU01 settings and also make sure that the right value is being populated in the ls_approval_agent-name with the fullname(either with last/first name) of the user in the badi.
Hope this may solve your issue.

PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite PDF's are not displaying correctly. Every time i generate a PDF of a sales quote it seems to lose a lot of information.
But the strange thing is.....
Preview and Mail both show PDF with missing text.
When I open using "Quick Look Attachment" within Mail or Adobe Acrobat it looks perfect.
When emailed, recipients (mostly Windows users) seem to have no problem opening it and seeing all text.
So far seen that issue is only in Preview and Mail
Only has happened since upgrading to Yosemite
PDF is created using web based ZOHO CRM to build quotes.
See image below to see the difference in what Mail and Preview sees compared with how other apps open the same PDF.
NOTE: sensitive info has been purposely blurred on image.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Why is Preview not displaying fonts correctly?

Since the last Snow Leopard upgrade, Preview is not displaying some fonts correctly. I checked to see if the fonts were embedded in the PDF (by resorting to Adobe Acrobat 5... which is not displaying them correctly either) and they are True Type with Windows encoding which as far as I know Preview OS X should be able to handle.
I tried deleting the Preview preferences in User/Library/Prefeerences and restarting but this made no difference. The same PDF works perfectly though on an old iMac that is running OS X Tiger!!!

Well I found a few minor font problems which seem to have cropped up since the last system upgrade, but none of those were the font in question. Also, as I understand it, the whole point of PDF documents is that the fonts are embedded in the document so you do not have to have the fonts installed on your computer to view the PDF properly. I use a lot of special fonts and when I save documents as a PDF I can send them to anyone on the internet and they can usually see everything as it is meant to be.

12.1.3 BI Publisher report not displaying the detail section on first page

Hi,
As part of our R12.1.3 upgrade, I designed a Purchase Report as a RTF template.
Header and footer sections generate fine, but for some reason the detail (text body of the RTF template) does not display on the first page but starts on the second page (this is a PO with many lines). I am using MS Word table to display the detail section.
Is there something I can check?
Thanks,
Sinan

can you send me your template and xml . i can check at my side .
email:[email protected]
there may be some spaces in the beginning .

Second line item in Shoppin cart is not displaying the details

Second line item's district value is not displayed when the detailed button of second line item is clicked.
In the shopping cart , there are two line items are added. ( before ordering )
click on the detail button of first line item, then click on the Ship to address tab . it is displaying the details of the first line item ship to address.
For getting the value in the district field, BBP_doc_change_badi is implemented .
The problem is when i click on the detail button of second line itme , the value in the district field is cleard.
When i click on refresh buttion after that, the value is there.
I debugged BBP_DOC_CHANGE_Badi~bbp_SC_change method,
When the second line item is clicked, it populates only the value of first line item . After that if i click on any other buttion, the it_item in the badi populates the second line item value.
Is this a standard error in SRM or is there any way to display the value of second line item when it is clicked at the first time

Hi,
In item category details insure there is tickmark for Schedule line allowed,
In sales order at item level under shipping tab see storage location ,plant is appearing or not,

Images are not displayed in Details Page of Open script

I am trying to record a web application with open script.
After recording the images are not displayed when playing back the script.
Are there any option we have to enable to get the images.

Hi
As per default OpenScript will ignore any URL that contains an image, to change the filters you can:
View -> OpenScript Preferences > Record -> HTTP Module -> Select the URL filters Tab to add/remove or edit any filters
You can un-check the first one on the list to enable image recording.

Preview not displaying List View Data past first row

I guess this is a simple question. I have my Excel model working the way I wish it to. The components before preview are functioning accordingly. When Preview is run, the data in the two spreadheet tables is not displayed past the first row.
Basically, is there some gremlin within Flash that is ignoring or deleting the functions (VLOOKUP) in the targeted display area? By all rights, this should be working, and I am kind of surprised that it isn't

If the data is static, it will display. My research turned up that VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions will not display after the first row of data.
Source: Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard best Practices by Loren Abdulezer, pages 407-408
My problem is that in making the data dynamically selectable, and using multiple functions to bring results to the top of the spreadsheet instead of their respective locations; it has created a situation where I have an Excel model that works, but an Xcelsius model that does not.
Doesn't look like there really is a solution to what I am trying to do, short of completely rebuilding the model, which I do not have the ability to replicate.

Preview not displaying fonts

For many version (since at least 10.6.1) I am having problems displaying a PDF created on regular basis in our restaurant in Prevoew or Quicklook. No one else with PC has this issue but me. When I open PDF in Preview, all texts are displayed as black bars. In Adobe Acrobat all fonts are OK.
How can I fix this? How can the author help me to fix this?
Feel free to download and test the PDF HERE

Even weirder. The Acrobat Reader (latest version) and Acrobat Pro 9 display the PDF fine. But the Acrobat PDF plugin for Safari does not display it correctly, even though it's also the latest version, installed by the Reader.

SAP_GRAC_ROLE_MGMT_ROLE_OWNER
SAP_GRAC_ROLE_MGMT_USER
Please help me...what am I doing wrong?

Hi Colleen,
Thanks for reply. I have configured the workflow with default path and with one stage (role owner approval). When we create roles, request is being sent for role owner for approval.
Role owner is able to see the request in workplace inbox. But not able to approve it. We are getting the same kind of error when we raise requests for user access also (you can see the error screen shot for access request and the same kind of error is occurring for role approval also).
All requests are stuck up at role owner for approval. Quick response is much appreciated.

Sasi
